Alpine council hears request to revert Sol Ross State University campus street names to original names for 911 clarity
Summary
A request from the Rio Grande Council of Governments’ 911 coordinator asked council to revert several Sol Ross State University campus road names to their original names to correct addressing and dispatch problems; staff said the university approved the reversion but the transcript does not record a final council vote.
Casey Meritori, 911 GIS coordinator for the Rio Grande Council of Governments, asked the council to approve reverting several Sol Ross State University campus road names to their original names and directionals to ensure correct addressing and improved 911 dispatchability.
Meritori said the roads had been renamed about three years earlier without the proper approvals and that reverting to the original campus names will allow the 911 office to add dispatchable addressing points for campus facilities such as the meat lab and trailers. She said the university president’s office later approved the reversion and that the changes are necessary for emergency dispatch to function properly.
A motion to approve renaming campus streets as listed in the packet was made during the meeting; Meritori and a university representative discussed the need for accurate addressing. The meeting transcript does not record a final roll-call vote for this item in the available excerpt; staff and the coordinator said the university leadership had signed off on the reversion and the changes will aid 911 operations.
